Surely our men of affairs can count- the cost of precious lives and treasure lost in this great devas­ tating world conflict and steel them against every, menace that will only drag men down so that they will become helpless to tribution t-------„ What think of maimed cases to world in which to live, and find that we have tolerated such dens of vice that even the hotel keepers themselves asked that they be dis­ continued for fear of public opinion would rise up and demand that the whole thing be abolished which must be done before we can ex­ pect to have lasting peace. After such a world .conflict ano so near a total victory for better things, with the world . subdued and hoping and praying for a last­ ing peace and a better world, it we fail in this at this time, what better can we hope if we have ■ to ■fight it all over again.

Out­ standing advantage of the new method is that it reduces the num­ ber of operations and the pain, both physical and mental, undergone by patients suffering from major fac­ ial and body injuries. Hitherto the time factor involved in skin grafting on to ‘a number of areas necessitated a series of operations. Under the skin storage ■method, however, tile only opera­ tion necessary is the short one needed to cut the skin. Later the skin can be applied at the bedside without using an anaesthetic, since it is “glued” instead of being stitched, reports the British medi­ cal journal, “Lancet”.

We must buy wisely and with the greatest care: be on guard at all times, checking, working, fighting to keep Canada’s dollar sound. If we do this, we can keep prices from rising. If we don’t, some day we’ll be paying a dollar for 30c worth of goods, which means our dollar is only worth 30c. We know1 what happened after the last war! We must fight against it happening again, For our own sakes -—for the sake of the men who fought overseas and to whom we owe a future with a job, we must keep Canada’s dollar worth a full dollar.
